The first one of these I wrote was in 1992. Here it is sixteen years later and I still
have the same wonderful joy in coming to work each day. Time really does fly
when you are having fun. All of you students, staff, even the UPS guy are fun to
work with. I hope you have had some fun this year too.
Of course school is serious as well. It can’t be all birthday cake and walks for ice
cream. I hope you have had a chance to learn something new from me and from
all of your teachers here in Sawdon.
I know some of you have had many different challenges throughout the school
year.
Many of you have met those challenges and obstacles with strength and determi-
nation. Others have had to face those challenges while kicking and screaming. I
know I throw a tantrum when I have to get out of bed!
In all seriousness, how you act during those difficult times is an important factor
in conquering those hurdles. Sometimes the only difference between a mountain
and a molehill is our own perspective.
